Fencing in Neath

While its value as an element of garden design is often ignored, fencing is a vital part of both the aesthetics and functionality of your garden. Garden fencing is likely to differ between the front and back of properties, with higher and more substantial wooden fencing frequently being installed in the rear garden, while the front of the home generally employs smaller sized and more decorative fencing. Fencing for the front of the home tends to have a low height and large spaces between the wooden slats. Also, it is often coloured to enhance its ornamental effect. Fencing in the back garden is frequently used for privacy and to preserve the boundaries of a garden, as well as to keep pets or other small animals or wildlife either in or out. For this reason, these kinds of fences are about 6 feet high and use wooden slats with no gaps in between. Because of the increased height, these fences usually have concrete footings laid between each panel to provide security and prevent the fence from blowing over or being destroyed in poor weather. Garden fencing panels are generally constructed from wood. The posts in between the sections are produced from either timber, stone, or concrete. More recently, fence panels have started to be made from heavily recycled and eco friendly composite materials such as recycled bamboo.
